Hi Tom,

Go to the Files section here and download DESI. DESI is the shell of a complete application and the main data entry form uses a textbox and grid to do lookups on exiting data while in the data entry screen. You might find it of some use.


>So after some toying, I figured out how to get the list box to display the existing records from my table called, oh lets say green. My idea for the combo box was the ability to type and search incrementally so the user doesnt have to type every piece of information. They can search for a match and then add the other field info from there. I thought I could then take the value presented in the combo box(es) and append them back into the table green. Or into a cursor database and then elsewhere in the code I could append those records into the table green.
